Welcome to Nutrition 2108 Dr. Ed. Barre Lectures 1a,b 12 September 2016

Please note that Nutr 2108 is primarily directed at students in their third year of their B.Sc.N. degree programme and they will be accommodated first into laboratory sections. If and only if there are spaces left in one or more Nutr 2108 laboratory sections after all third year nursing students are accommodated will non-nursing students be assigned a laboratory section on a first come, first served basis. Consequently non-nursing students may have to withdraw from Nutr 2108. Nutrition transfer students must NOT take Nutr 2108. All Nutrition transfer students must take Nutr 2104 and Nutr 2106 PLUS if going to MSVU or UPEI they must also take Nutr 1101 and Nutr/SPAL 2107. Non-nursing students are strongly encouraged to take Nutr 2104 (fall term 2016, MWF 11:30 am - 12:20 pm).
